We are privileged and honored to recognize one of the most transformational leaders in Junior Achievement's history. Junior Achievement USA President & CEO Jack Kosakowski retires this weekend after 50 years of service to JA and the young people it serves. Among his many accomplishments, Jack led the digital transformation of JA, guided the organization through the challenges of the global pandemic, and made JA one of the country's most recognized and consequential youth development organizations. While we are sad to see Jack leave his role as President & CEO, he is already leading an effort to build greater awareness and understanding of JA's global impact within the Junior Achievement organization. You can read more about Jack's journey and future plans here: https://lnkd.in/gCU_Z5x8 Thank you for everything, Jack!
